Chapter 157: Soldiers, murder weapons, saints have no choice but to do it.
The Ming Dynasty was able to train a group of army capable of fighting in two years, but unfortunately, in two years, the Ming Dynasty had no way to train a group of navies, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where the sea was forbidden for a hundred years, and the education process was so poor, and illiteracy accounted for 99% of the population.
The Navy is different from the Army, and it is not possible to pull a gun to the battlefield.
Unlike the old-fashioned galleons, in order to control a steel giant ship, to become a qualified navy, you must first be an intellectual, not an intellectual, you don't even know how to use the console, you can't read the manual, you can't control the battleship at all. Literacy is not a problem for some developed countries, or if you can't read, it's really a big problem, but for the current Ming Kingdom, the ordinary threshold of literacy will stop 99% of the people in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, literacy was very difficult, without certain material conditions, without enough heritage, do not want to read at all, this is something that cultural talents can understand. If ordinary people can write their names, it is a very happy thing. Although it is an exaggeration, it can also show how difficult it is to read and write in the Ming Dynasty.
Although after coming to this world and seizing the ruling power of the Ming Kingdom, the Church of the Lord of the Sky has held many literacy classes, but the effect is really not very good.
In the atmosphere of the great construction initiated by the Church of the Lord of the Void, the most important thing is to work hard to earn a little more money to support yourself and your family. Others, really not very important.
Moreover, the Church of the Lord of the Sky does not hold a literacy class very seriously, that is, it is a formal thing, after all, the Church of the Lord of the Sky has a lot of things, very many, and just trying to win profits consumes a lot of energy of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, plus a series of other things. For example, big construction, buying people's hearts and minds. It's almost all the energy that has been exhausted, just a literacy class, just a look, do this kind of thing wholeheartedly, just kidding, so many important things are not waiting, how can you put your energy on this.
The Church of the Lord of the Void does not attach importance to education, which is understandable. Because, Zheng Shuanglong, the Lord of the Sky, did not release any points related to the education category, in this case, he was originally a visitor from the other world. There is no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty at all, and the troops who are just moving for points can spend their energy on this kind of thing, even if everyone knows that education is a big problem. It's a hundred-year plan, but a hundred years later. It's a question whether I'm still here or not, and whether I need to spend this kind of effort. It's not my own home, and I can't be busy with things, so how can I waste my energy on this. You can't get half a point, are you bored?
On the one hand, the lack of attention to education is the reason, and on the other hand, there are not enough people with sufficient literacy, coupled with the needs of all aspects, and the intellectuals have too many choices, resulting in the Navy simply not having enough talents to choose. In short, it is a lack of foundation. The current Ming Dynasty does not have enough foundation to develop a modern navy.
The foundation is not good, the foundation is not enough, the intellectuals are insufficient, and there are not enough talents, so these will be put aside first. Even if there are a certain number of intellectuals, this does not mean that they can directly become a modern navy.
A qualified modern navy is not just intellectuals, they also have to go through a considerable amount of training before they can be regarded as a reserve navy.
Because a navy without special training is not a navy at all, it is better to let him jump into the sea directly than to put him on a battleship, which will die a little faster.
It is a pity that the Church of the Lord of the Sky has done a lot of things, so that countless people in the entire Ming Dynasty can live, be able to eat, stabilize the social order, carry out social reforms, create a lot of wealth, improve people's living standards, improve people's cultural process, and even find spiritual sustenance for the people of the Ming Dynasty, Lord of the Sky.
However, the Church of the Lord of the Air, which built the Dagu shipyard and built dozens of cruisers, destroyers, troop carriers, freighters, and cruise ships, did not establish a single naval academy for the Ming Dynasty and did not train any talents for the navy. A visitor from another world is a visitor from another world, how can this kind of thing that has a hundred-year plan, something that does not make much profit in a short period of time, how can it be done.
There is no development plan, or rather, there is no perfect development plan, this is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Shuanglong is using the Ming Dynasty to do the real yàn, and the real yàn's own level of governance. It is a pity that it is obvious that Zheng Shuanglong's level of governance is not as high as the level of political struggle, and the construction carried out under the auspices of Zheng Shuanglong does not have a specific development program and a strict development plan, so that this kind of warship has been built, but no one can be found to drive this kind of oolong thing.
Blind, confused, this is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, don't look at the Ming Dynasty is now changing day by day, everyone is busy every day, but, in the face of social changes, most people are a little confused in their hearts, a little bit I don't know where the Ming Dynasty will go.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was reincarnated in Japan, Zheng Shuanglong, who has lived in Japan for a long time, seems to have been influenced by the Japanese, his eyes are not so sharp, and he doesn't know what he wants anymore. In other words, Zheng Shuanglong, who was originally an ordinary pseudo-house, did not have such a high profile.
If you really have such a high Su zhì, if you are a genius, even in that era of fighting for your father, even in that era when opportunities are very scarce, you will not be mixed to the point where there are so many thousand dollars left every month, you know, this is still because you don't have to pay rent at home or something, if you are like other people who work hard in other places, everything costs money, this salary, there is really nothing left. Zheng Shuanglong is just an ordinary person who is obscured by everyone.
Ordinary people are ordinary people, don't think about becoming a genius in ancient times, you don't live well in modern society, there are no gold fingers, golden thighs. In ancient times, if you hadn't been killed by the ancient society, you should be able to live a life of a little rich.
If the development and construction of the Ming Dynasty is compared to a battle, Zheng Shuanglong, the master of the sky who drove this chariot, only achieved a tactical victory. As for the strategy, there is no goal at all. Although a series of tactical victories can turn the tide of the situation, the lack of strategy can make people confused and make mistakes.
Good at political struggle. But Zheng Shuanglong, who is not very good at building the country, had a problem at the beginning, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and it is correct to use yang to conspiracy, Zheng Shuanglong, who is good at conspiracy and trickery, has gone astray, and always uses conspiracy and tricks, and it will not be a big cause. Somebody. Regardless of the overall situation, this is Zheng Shuanglong's biggest problem. Not well thought out. Calculate for a while, but not for a lifetime. After all, it's not about the big picture. I can't find a match.
When he was in the world of the God Slayer, Zheng Shuanglong had such a lack of strategic vision, so that he was calculated by the emperor and Susanoo. was calculated by Prometheus, if Pandora hadn't been carrying around in the back, it is estimated that Zheng Shuanglong would not have been able to go now.
At the time of the Hakoniwa world. There is also a problem of not having enough of the overall situation, although it is very pleasant to calculate other people, but, since it will be found by the White Yaksha, this is really a very failed thing, if it is not for the help of Pandora, it has grown up, it is estimated that in the box court, Zheng Shuanglong will play himself to death.
Not to mention it in the forbidden world, although it is due to the reason of laissez-faire, but being beaten by the whole world, even the chess pieces in his hands dare to resist him, which is really not to say that it is a very failure.
Even if the true god is achieved, he still hasn't changed this shortcoming, and he didn't have enough foresight when building the kingdom of God, and he made a scumbag-like fragile kingdom of God.
Fortunately, Zheng Shuanglong discovered his shortcomings and began to make up for this weakness in earnest.
What's even more fortunate is that at the beginning, Zheng Shuanglong obtained what can be said to be a good strength with the help of everyone, and he didn't need to use too many intrigues, as long as he relied on this power to push it through, it was enough.
It's really nice that you didn't get into the habit of using intrigue and intrigues. After all, once it becomes a habit, it takes a lot of effort to reverse it.
No one is perfect, no gold is barefoot, there are deficiencies, and it is to make up for it.
The strategic vision is insufficient, the consideration is not thorough enough, there is no problem, there is no problem at all, and the cultivation is that there are so many real products anyway. Someday it will be able to be cultivated.
The construction and development of a country is a good means of exercise, and it can also exercise your own level of governance by the way, and cultivate a cute little Lori, isn't it a very good thing, therefore, Zheng Shuanglong came to the Ming Dynasty to carry out the real yàn, and take the world as the real yàn field.
However, it seems that the results are not so good, there are many problems, but there is no problem with this, once it does not work twice, twice it does not work three times, sum up the experience and education, and one day it will come to fruition.
As for the consequences of Shi Yàn's failure, Zheng Shuanglong didn't care at all.
Zheng Shuanglong doesn't care, but the Ming Dynasty must care, because Zheng Shuanglong's unscientific, unrigorous, and lack of overall development brought about the bitter fruit of the Ming Dynasty.
Although a series of achievements have been made in the construction of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Shuanglong did not stimulate all the power of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of resources can not be allocated correctly, human resources have not been optimally utilized, and a large number of factories have been built for the Ming Dynasty, which does not have much significance, and the development speed of the entire Ming Dynasty is not as rapid as imagined. If it weren't for the material support of other worlds in the early stage, the Ming Dynasty might have been collapsed by Zheng Shuanglong a long time ago. The plan to transform the Ming Kingdom was misguided from the start.
Zheng Shuanglong's development and construction of the Ming Dynasty is really the wrong science and technology tree, two years, leapfrog development, great changes in society, and a series of social problems, contradictions and conflicts, all of which were forcibly suppressed by Zheng Shuanglong's subordinate Empty Lord Church. However, suppressing it does not mean that it will be solved, and it will explode one day.
Time is too tight, explosive development, leapfrog development, two years have allowed the Ming Kingdom to enter the process of modernization, which has made many problems have not broken out, they have been covered up, but. The problems that were covered up at this time have not been solved, they are just buried deeply, and the problems are still there, and the problems will get bigger and bigger. If the development time of these two years is extended to 20 years, perhaps, there will not be so many problems, and time can really solve many problems.
It's a pity. Zheng Shuanglong, where is the Church of the Lord of the Sky having this American time to spend in this Ming Dynasty, more than two years is already too much for them. A Ming Dynasty, it took Zheng Shuanglong two years to spend two years, which is already a very luxurious thing. If it weren't for the fact that there was a real yàn to be carried out, if it wasn't for the cultivation of Fit, maybe Zheng Shuanglong would only give the Ming Dynasty a year. Or even less. is just a Ming country, which is not worthy of Zheng Shuanglong's attention.
It is this lack of attention, and it is this lack of attention that makes Ming have a lot of problems. Let the development of the Ming Kingdom show a deformity. Spiritual construction has not kept pace with social development at all. In the end, people's suzhì became the biggest factor dragging down the development of the Ming Kingdom.
The society has developed and the problem of food has been solved by the introduction of high-yielding crops. The energy problem has been alleviated by the construction of the nuclear power plant and the Three Gorges Reservoir, the transportation problem has been alleviated to a certain extent by the construction of the road network and the railway network, and the material problem has been alleviated by the support of other countries in the early stage. Two years of development and construction have accumulated a part. It looks like the Ming Dynasty is doing well.
However, there are many, many problems that have not been solved, and the biggest problem is the problem of people. The people's living standards are still so low, and most of the poor people have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, but only to ensure that they will not starve to death. The huge demand for people brought about by the great development has not been solved, and now it is entirely because of the problem of manpower shortage, which has affected the development of society.
It's really strange, on the one hand, the human resources are too abundant, so that they are idle and wasteful, and on the other hand, there is a shortage of manpower, and there is no way to meet the needs of the rapid development of the Ming Kingdom.
However, this is not difficult to understand, what Ming Guo wants now is technical talents, not simple coolies.
Ten years of cultivating people, a hundred years of trees, the lack of investment in education, and the lack of overall social quality completely limited the development of the Ming Dynasty.
There are very many people in the Ming Dynasty, tens of millions of people, who can say that there are few, but the people in the Ming Dynasty are very few, and among the tens of millions of people, there are no one or two thousand people who can drive warships. Not only are there fewer people in the Ming Dynasty who drive battleships, but there are many, many people in the Ming Dynasty, and now there are more than 100,000 cars in the Ming Dynasty, but what about the car drivers, who can really drive the car smoothly, whether there are 10,000 people is a problem. Most of them are the kind of guys who can drive the car into a ditch on the plains.
Obviously, the navy has to carry out a short period of training before it can really board the battleship. However, now these sailors are only those who have undergone a short period of training at the Dagu Shipyard, and they are only able to drive the ship, not to hit the iceberg, to fire the cannon, and not to sink the warship on their side.
And even if there are such people, there are not many, there are a considerable number of steel battleships, and there is still no way to start.
The Navy is a technical branch of the military, and not everyone can play it. If you drive a tank into a ditch, you will be injured at most, and if you drive a battleship into a ditch, you will really be looking for death. The sea is not so gentle. Without qualified sailors, the battleship preferred to stay in the harbor in the wind and sun rather than move. After all, something went wrong, and it wasn't just your own life that was lost.
It is precisely because of this that there is such a strange phenomenon, there are obviously a large number of steel warships parked in the port, but in and out of the port are old-fashioned wooden lucky boats, sand boats, bird boats and the like, which is really strange and excessive.
There is a shortage of people, not only in the navy, but also in many, many other aspects.
Originally, under such circumstances, the Church of the Lord of the Void should devote its energy to education, improve the cultural level of the people, improve the national quality of the whole country, and break the bottleneck of national development.
Although the investment in education has been slow to bear fruit, it is really a matter of great benefit for the country and the people. The Church of the Lord of the Void, which has seized the power of the state, should also do something for the country. Promote the poor education.
Unfortunately, even if you understand this situation very well, and understand how important education is, the Church of the Lord of the Sky does not have the slightest idea of investing in education. A college is not running and cannot be run. Even the original literacy classes have been discontinued.
Because, Zheng Shuanglong's order is to spread the glory of the Lord of the Sky Church all over the world in three years, which is a very crazy thing, at least, it is really too crazy for the Ming Dynasty that has just improved a little.
All supplies. Energy, personnel, and property must be used for this expansion, and the others will be put aside first, one is centered on expansion, and the other is for the glory of our Lord, and as for other issues, they are so small in the face of spreading the gospel of our Lord.
For this reason, the Church of the Lord of the Sky has stopped the funds that are going to be invested in education. Diverted to the construction of the army, except for the weekly enlightenment education of children organized by the church, the Church of the Lord of the Sky has not invested anything in education.
Many of the infrastructure construction of the Ming Dynasty has also changed from water conservancy facilities with priority to the people, to military facilities with priority for the military. For example, more than one million people have been requisitioned to build the southwest highway network.
Even at a time when there was a shortage of labor everywhere in this kind of large-scale development and construction of the whole people, 1 million young men were specially selected to train the new army. This is such a thing that affects production and life.
Soldiers, murder weapons. The saint had no choice but to do it.
It's an old saying, and it's a famous saying. It's a truth. At least, for the current Ming Kingdom, it is the truth.
Silver is needed to fight. Silver is also needed to train a new army. To engage in construction and engineering, you also need silver, a lot of silver.
An assault rifle is really worth no less than the same weight of silver. A howitzer will not be cheaper than gold of the same weight. Armored vehicles are even more expensive, and the value of a tank is so high that ordinary families cannot afford it. Don't say they're expensive. Sometimes you can't buy it yet.
You must know that the outdated red-clothed cannons of the Ming Dynasty weighing thousands of catties of copper were calculated in 10,000 taels of silver. An arquebus can be sold for dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver, so in comparison, it is really not so expensive.
After all, although there are a series of factories such as organic qì manufacturing plants, gun factories, automobile factories, tank factories, etc., only those from other worlds who can operate them are the people from the other world who can operate them. This salary is as high as it is. And the yield is not so ideal. The ordnance of a division is really piled up with gold.
Not counting the most valuable ordnance, a soldier will pay three taels of silver a month, thirty-six taels of silver a year, and a division will have an establishment of 20,000 men, not counting the issue of rank, at least 720,000 taels of silver a year, in fact, it will cost at least 800,000 taels of silver a year to raise a division. Fifty divisions are trained, and at least 40 million taels of silver are required a year.
Counting the ten divisions that exist now, it is another eight million taels of silver a year.
Although the Church of the Lord of the Sky took over the Ming Dynasty, the Church of the Lord of the Sky had no way to do what the Ming Dynasty did, allowing people to work, not paying wages, and bringing their own food. The Church of the Lord of the Sky is engaged in construction, and the requisition of the people is given real money. Minfu one tael of silver a month, twelve taels a year, and the engineering team of millions of minfu cannot go down without tens of millions of taels of silver a year.
If you add up to eight like this, if you don't have hundreds of millions of taels of silver a year, it is not enough at all, but this is a number that can crush the original Ming Dynasty.
However, these are not problems, the Lord of the Sky Church is rich and rich, and it really doesn't care about such a little silver, modern mine operations, the efficiency is very high, hundreds of millions a year, billions of taels of silver a year is no problem.
The problem of silver is really not a big problem, the Church of the Lord of the Sky is taking it, but the problem of materials is really a big problem.
The two years of construction of the Ming Dynasty were to accumulate a little food, steel, cement, and other materials, and have a little bit of a family foundation, but this family foundation is not enough for the consumption of this war. A war of millions of people, a battlefield spanning thousands of miles, this consumption is really too great. The big ones can bring down the Ming Dynasty.
War is not just a matter of the troops going out, seven divisions of 140,000 troops, equipped with millions of civilians, plus millions of immigrants, this is a very large amount of consumption.
The Church of the Lord of the Sky launched this war to win a lot of things, to expand the territory for the Ming Kingdom, to expand the living space for the people, to get rubber, ore, spices, timber, etc., but, because of the problem of transportation, the dividends of these wars have not been able to bring something to the people of the country for the time being. At most, at most, it is just to let the people have one more way out in the future. The development of the Ming Dynasty has not been completed, and other places really can't attract the people.
The dividends of the war are not yet visible, and the negative impact of the war is showing in the Ming Kingdom, there are fewer things on the market, prices have risen, and the silver is not much spent. What could have been bought for one tael of silver is now unavailable for two taels of silver.
There are so many materials in the Ming Kingdom, and there are more external uses, and naturally there are fewer internal ones. Production and construction will have an impact, and the spread of the gospel of our Lord will be given priority, then war will be given priority, and the materials that were not so much internal will be taken up by war. There are even fewer civilian ones left. If there are fewer things, then things are expensive, and a large amount of silver is pouring into the market, resulting in silver not being silver, and becoming less and less valuable.
Silver is silver, it has value, it can be used as money, it is a precious metal, it can play a certain role in industrial production, but it is just like that, it cannot be eaten, what can be eaten is grain. When there is no food, when there is no food, no amount of money is of any use. The materials accumulated in the two years of the Ming Dynasty are really not as much as imagined.
The plundering is not as good as the consumption, not long after the war began, the Ming State was a little unable to support it, and the country was depressed, if it dragged on for a long time, there was no need for others to fight, and the Ming Dynasty would collapse by itself because of the drag of the war on the economy.
War, it's really not such a good thing.
Soldiers, murder weapons, saints have to do it. (To be continued......)
